On Sun, Jul 08, 2001 at 02:37:45AM -0700, a little birdie told me that Peter Wemm remarked

I'm beginning to wonder.. The real question is whether it is a faithful enough drop-in replacement for nvi. I'll alias it on some of my machines and see if it bites me or not.

The next thing is that moving a port to the base system usually has a pretty chilling effect on the package.. Is that going to OK with regular vim users who are used to having a dynamic, regularly updated port?

FWIW, vim on various Linux boxes has puked many times in the past on my rather basic .exrc (last line edited for readability): set tabstop=4 set shiftwidth=4 set wraplen=73 set ai set ruler map ^R !}fmt 71

wraplen, as I recall didn't work right, and I think one or two other parts failed. I never did figure out how to set the wrap width. And don't even get me started on the damn syntax highlighting... watch the whole screen change color/darkness as I write a printf() depending on when the ()'s, ""'s, etc., are open. *shudder*
